[edit] History

They were led by the Pirate Lord Ammand, who commanded a fleet of galleys.^[1] The Barbary Corsairs were known to attack trade ships of the Christian infidels, and controlled all trade from the Gulf of Morocco to Turkey, due to Ammand forging an alliance with the Ottoman Empire.^[2] They frequently crossed blades with the Spanish Treasure Fleet of Eduardo Villanueva as they operated in the same waters.
